My Saiga is in .223, and the Tech Sight is on my SKS instead, and I haven’t done the conversion to AK mags, of course. Not having done the conversion myself, does anyone have experience just modifying the recoil spring cover plate to accept the Tech Sight? It looks like it ought to be a fairly straight-forward matter for drilling the necessary hole, but I’m concerned the sight would make removing the spring cover difficult thereafter. I’ve got the Pro-Mag scope mounting plate installed and it causes the scope to sit too high for comfortable shooting so I’m looking at alternatives. I have to remove the Tech Sight from the SKS to clean the gun (properly :)), is it the same here?
Will,
The Tech-SIGHTS will fit your Saiga with out any problem. The sight actually mounts to the receiver and not the cover. You replace the rear portion of your recoil spring assembly. The part with the button on it that locks your current cover in place. Once you replace that part with our sight assembly, you assemble the rifle the same way that you always have. Then install the new cover that comes with the sight and you are ready to zero the sights. The AK100S and AK200S models for the AK47/74 will fit the 5.56, 5.45 x 39 and 7.63 x 39 Saigas. The sight will fit the 308 Saiga as well but requires a recoil buffer to be installed in the recoil spring assembly to limit the bolt carrier travel just ast the original recoil assembly does. I hope this helps. It tried to post this on Olegs blog on the Saiga but it would take for some reason.
Какая колоритная Снегурочка!
А какой же, если представить себе придет Dead Moroz?
Олег, надеюсь Санта Клаус или Дед Мороз будет вашей скорой работой!
А ведь это переделачная сайга из охотничьего “весла”, а?
С переносом УСМа.
I have one similar to that!
The Saiga, not the girl, sadly.

Какая замечательная Снегурочка))
The Tech Sight was a struggle for me to install on a WASR10, but is much better than the standard AK rear sight.
